And he paid himself £22m from his riches – with an incredible £250,000 going on charitable donations.
Robbie crisscrossed the world in his XXV Tour from October 2022 to December 2023, celebrating 25 years as a solo artist.
And now he’s reaping the rewards.
Books just filed for his You Are Not Famous Ltd firm show that for the 12 months to the end of December 2023, he turned over £75.2m – compared with £30.7m in the previous year.

Robbie Williams discusses film about his life on Graham Norton
The tour will come hot on the heels of the release of his critically acclaimed Better Man biopic.
The film, headed up by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey, has been nominated for an Oscar and a Bafta as well as a Golden Globe.
And this week Robbie has been celebrating by splashing the cash.
He bought Eric Morecambe's glasses and pipe because he has always seen the comedian as an "uncle of sorts".
The singer said he cried "happy, childlike tears" after submitting the top bid last month with a final offer of £20,000.
This far exceeded the £2,000 to £4,000 estimate.
In an Instagram post featuring photos of Williams using the glasses and pipe, he said he treated himself to the items ahead of his 51st birthday tomorrow, February 13.
The Angels singer recalled appointing Mike, a member of his team who handles his digital presence, to be "chief bidder" as he was in Los Angeles about to board a plane as the auction got under way.
"As it happens, I got to watch the lot being auctioned live. My iPhone and Mike's iPhone acting like walkie-talkies," he wrote.
"'What should I do Ayd's?' I nervously kept asking my wife. 'Keep bidding' Ayda says with the steely determination of someone bursting through an electronics store door on Black Friday.
"'Keep going Mike' I say. This vignette of conversation would repeat itself several times over the next 10 minutes."
Once he won the bidding war, Williams said he cried "happy, childlike tears".
"You see, I guess we all need friends-we-never-meet from off the telly. Eric has always been mine. An uncle of sorts," he wrote.

"To the very core of me, Eric Morecambe's spirit has been salve for my soul. How Eric made me feel is how I want to make people feel.
"What a gift to be able to create such joy and have that joy be present just by thinking of them."
